cant remember sounds, dropping lead, closer to pure a thud, harder a ring is that right?

"That's the sounds I always heard but a 'real connoisseur' of the subtle sound of lead coming to a sudden stop will profess to give those sounds a BHN number!"

My alloy seems to not be as brittle as what is claimed for linotype. I made an alloy that is 50/50 pure and foundry type that should be very much like linotype but with a little extra tin. I had to drain my pot so i filled my ingot molds to over flowing. These ingot molds make 4 one pound ingots. I was breaking these up into individual 1 pound ingots and they did not crack as easily as I expected the bent a lot before they broke. I had heard that lino bullets would fragment if you dropped them on the floor. My bullets do not break if I drop them on the floor and if I hit them with a hammer they dent not fracture. They test BHN of 23 with my Lee tester. They do ping if you drop them.
